Hello.

This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to building a basic Chrome extension for posting to Google Buzz. We start by setting up the manifest file with the extension's name, version, and browser action details like the icon and tooltip. Then, we introduce a background page to handle the extension's logic, adding an event listener to detect clicks on the browser action button. Initially, we demonstrate how to display the current URL, and then extend the functionality to open a new tab directed to Google Buzz, pre-filled with the current URL for posting. The tutorial concludes by adding the 'tabs' permission to the manifest for enabling tab creation. Future enhancements will include fetching Buzz stats for the current URL, demonstrating cross-domain requests and browser_action interaction.
